Very good overall and sustained performance; Affordable in all capacities

A bit slow reading smaller files and folders; 2TB version has a lower TBW rating

More than two years after the release of the Samsung SSD 850 EVO series of SSDs, we're finally starting to see a few challengers to its supremacy, thanks to the adoption of 3D NAND by some of its rivals.

Very good overall performance; aggressively priced; includes cloning software

Not quite as fast as Samsung's two-year-old SSD 850 EVO; three-year warranty, not five

You might wonder why we're testing two solid state drives in the one review? Well, it's because WD is being a little tricky with its marketing for these two products. The WD Blue 3D range of drives is aimed at resellers and system builders, while the SanDisk Ultra 3D drives are being marketed to...

No matter how ingenious the manufacturers' R&D departments might be, a SATA SSD can only go so fast: throughput limits mean that it's only going to get harder for a SATA-based SSD to innovate.

High write speeds; Good durability

Inconsistent in everyday use

This SSD uses SLC caching trickery to keep write speeds high, but don't expect industry-leading performance

High write speeds; Good durability;

Inconsistent in everyday use;

upgrading from old samsung ssd(great p&p for 4 years).

nice paperweight

shows up in bios- not device or disk man

The SanDisk Ultra 3D is a new client SSD similar to that of the WD Blue 3D. Because this drive is on the lower end of the performance scale, its main application will be general upgrades from an HDD-based system to solid-state technology for faster boot up times and speedier overall performance.

Having arrived at the third generation of the BiCS 3D NAND, developed by Sandisk and Toshiba, WD thinks the time has come to base consumer products on the new technology. The performance of the WD Blue 3D and Sandisk Ultra 3D are on-par with the 3D NAND-based Micron SSDs and only slightly worse than...

There are still lots of PCs out there that would take on new life with a simple hard-drive-to-SSD upgrade , and Sandisk's Ultra 3D is one of the best, if not the best SSD for the job.
